The Pan Africa Programme of ACORD focuses on Food Sovereignty. Within Food Sovereignty, the focus is on the following three broad complementary categories: 1. Focus on agriculture polices, in particular through engagement on the Comprehensive Agriculture and Development Programme (CAADP) and the Pastoralist Policy Framework (PPF). 2. Regional and continental trade agreements, access to market for small scale farmers and the emergence of food reserves in the continent 3. Land as natural resource: Owners and Users and its Impact on Food Sovereignty, women's access to land, family based agriculture, resource based conflict, emergence of the BRIC economies and their interest in African land.
